Notes
Check with a network administrator about IP address. Do not set the duplicate IP address.
Set IP address on the External Device for IP address in Device-specific settings.
You need to set IP address on the Display in the offline mode of the Display.
External Device Settings

Use the FETCH TCP protocol and WRITE TCP protocol so that the Ethernet driver can read and write data for
the External Device. Setting example is shown below. Please refer to the manual of the External Device for more
details.
(1) Select CP343-1/443-1 from hardware configuration menu in the ladder software "STEP 7" by Siemens AG.
When the dialog box is displayed, set [IP address] and [Subnet mask] in the [Parameters] tab.
(2) Start up "NetPro" from "STEP7", and select the CPU to which CP343-1/443-1 is connected. Right-click to
select [Insert New Connection].
(3) Select [TCP connection] for [Type] in the displayed dialog box, and leaving [Unspecified] selected for
[Station], click [OK].
(4) Click the [Options] tab in the displayed dialog box, and select [Fetch passive] in [Mode].
(5) Click the [Address] tab, and enter the port No. (FETCH PORT No. Default 2000) Do not set the duplicate port
No.
(6) Click [OK].
(7) Select the CPU again to which CP343-1/443-1 is connected. Right-click to select [Insert New Connection].
(8) Select [TCP connection] for [Type] in the displayed dialog box, and leaving [Unspecified] selected for
[Station], click [OK].
(9) Click the [Options] tab in the displayed dialog box, and select [Write passive] in [Mode].
(10)Select the [Address] tab and enter the port No. (WRITE PORT No. Default 2001) Do not set the duplicate
port No.
(11)Click [OK].
(12)Save the above setting contents and download to the External Device.
Notes
The FETCH ports Partner that is set in the ladder software communication setting dialog box must be the
same as the [Port No. (FETCH)] set in the GP-Pro EX communication settings. Likewise, the WRITE ports
Partner must be the same as the [Port No. (WRITE)].
If each Partner of the FETCH port and the WRITE port is blank, the [Port No.] can be also set to [Auto].
The "Keep Alive" feature of Siemens CP Module is not supported. Please set the "Keep Alive" to 0.
When the Display is turned off and on again during communication with the External Device or is switched to
offline mode and then back to online mode, it may take several tens of seconds before the communication is
resumed.

<TAGNAME>: For structures, Tag Name includes the structure name. The maximum length of the Tag Name
is 255 characters, which includes delimiters and the element number.
Example
BOOL type single tag:
"BOOLSYMBOL"
BOOL type 1D array:
"BOOL1D[10]"
WORD type 2D array:
"WORD2D[10,10]"
UDINT type 3D array:
"UDINT[0,1,2]"
User-defined structure:
"STRUCT001.STRINGSYM"
You cannot start names with any of the following text:
LS, USER, SCR, PRT
*2
The number of elements for each dimension is shown from "l" (Number of minimum element) to "h" (Number
of maximum element).
*3
By default, the system data area is set up with 16 words. Even if you want to use less than 16 words for the
system data area, you have to map a 16 word (or larger) array tag and then select the items for the system data
area.
*4
Handled as 16-bit devices in the External Device, but as 32-bit devices in GP-Pro EX.
*5
64-bit device
To use tags, you need to import Tag Data (symbol addresses).

For information about how to import, please refer to GP-Pro EX Reference Manual.
Cf. GP-Pro EX Reference Manual, "Using Device/PLC Tags"
When the tag of the "S5TIME" data type is imported, the data type is changed to
"WORD". When the tag of the "CHAR" data type is imported, the data type is
changed to "STRING (CHAR)".
